Description
Fishing reel from Shimano, suitable for surf casting. It has 5 bearings that facilitate the movement of the main axis. The drum of the reel rotates at a gear ratio of 6.2:1, which means that in one complete turn of the handle, the spool will make 6.2 rotations. The reel can hold 240m of 0.3mm thick fishing line, and in case of using a thicker line, the length capacity decreases. It is made of carbon, a lightweight material with great strength and durability.

Χ-Ship
Technology that provides more stability as the reel gear:
XT-7
With the new XT-7 body construction material, the reel features a compact body, resulting in being free from its center weight, making it extremely fatigue-free even after many hours of fishing.
Free Body
With the Free Body design, the center of gravity of the mechanism has been shifted closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity of the mechanism closer to the base of the rod, fatigue that occurs after many hours of fishing is reduced, while at the same time, the retrieval becomes even more comfortable.

Varispeed
The excellent distribution of the line on the spool is the most essential feature for long and accurate casting. The revolutionary 'Varispeed' system by Shimano consists of two gears. One is oval and the other is square. Only the perfectly specialized program created by Shimano can make the two gears work harmoniously. The result is the flawless parallel winding of the line.
AR-C Spool
H AR-C has a special design with a tapered lip at the edge, allowing the line to unravel with less friction and in smaller coils for longer and more accurate casts. The AR-C spools reduce tangles and knots due to wind, especially when using monofilament, and are now available in almost all Shimano reels.
Mechanism Maintenance
- Clean the reel after each fishing session to remove dirt and saltwater residue.
- Rinse with fresh water to prevent corrosion.
- Apply oil or grease to moving parts to reduce friction and check the line for wear.
- Check the functionality of the drag system and adjust the tension accordingly.
- Store in a cool and dry place, protected from dust.
- Loosen the resistance when not in use for extended periods of time.
This way, you will maintain the fishing reel in good condition, prolong its lifespan, and ensure optimal performance.

For the English reel that I have, it's a mother one since the lever drag can be easily adjusted for a big fish
